lyrics

How you doin', baby?
Ever fix that door?
Always glad to hear you're feeling better
Than you felt before

Me, I'm doing alright
I'm runnin' my bases
Keepin up with my vitamins
Maintaining good homeostasis

There's too many options
Too many trains
We got tiny little hearts
Pumping to too many brains

Went to a party last week
Oh, what an affair
Seem like everybody and they big-tity
Mama was there

Had my phone in my hand
Almost pressed send
I didn't want to distract you
You could be driving on the other end

Refrain

I tell too many jokes
I think that's what it is
I'm too serious, too
I don't talk enough shit

My hair's too long
I'm made of too much dust
I'm too reserved, I got too much gas and
I think about myself too much

Refrain

I have faith in your beauty
It's the kind I need
You keep tryin' to tell me you're ugly
Now that I can't believe

They say illusions are real
Make up reality
I got a quiet notion you're
an illusion to me

Refrain

All these wonderful women
I think you'd like them well
They got valuable real estate
but it's a hard time to sell

I keep forgettin'
That I should probably beg
I'm reminded every time I see
Your walkin' legs

One more chance
One good time
One more morning
in these arms of mine

Hand me down my walkin' cane
Hand me down my hat
I'm off to see a man about a horse
I may never come back

Maybe I should leave you be, babe
Don't think I haven't tried
I got a terrible headache from it
In fact, I think I died

Refrain
